Strange occurence "Gearbox fault"
Got in the car this morning, and tried to start it. It fired up, but there was a yellow warning triangle in the cluster with the message "Gearbox fault"
The gearbox selector, would not move from park. killed it and started it again...same error. I then took the fob out of my pocket, and put it in the center tray, and restarted...........message went away and all is good.
Anyone had this happen before ?............is it just one of those fluke occurrences that these cars are noted for, or am I looking at transmission issues down the road. The car has just over 7000 miles on it ?????

Mine did that a couple of years ago, and a couple of others on the forum have, as well. None have proved to be a serious problem. It seems to clear after a restart (or two). The dealer replaced a brake sensor/switch that they thought might have caused the problem. Whether it was purely random or fixed, I haven't had the problem since.
Have the dealer check this service bulletin:
